The UN security council elections are quickly approaching and Canada is one of the countries vying for a seat. So why does it matter?

The UN has outlived any usefulness whatsoever.

1945 was a long time ago and the UN Security Council needs to be updated to reflect the world today - right now it does not! This needs to change. If it doesn't something else will come in its place - and that may not be a good thing.

Out of the 6 largest arms dealers on Earth. 5 hold permanent positions on the security council.

Why toilet paper matters more than the u.n.

Only the big fives, winners of ww2, can determine this world's fate.

Also I gotta ask. Wouldn't a better title have been "why the permanent seats on the security council matter - and nobody else does"?

[timbucktoo]

Trud O isn't campagaining for a seat. He's just outright hoping to buy the seat with our dollars.

Canadians should be asked whether or not Trudeau deserves a security council seat.

The purpose of the UNSC is to defend earth against the Covenants.

So the council that promotes peace mainly through "democracy" does not practice the principle of voting, which is 50%+1%... but has veto.

If a Prime Minister or President can't walk down the street without security detail out of fear of being hurt then he / she is not a leader of the people but rather a leader for their own back pocket and therefore doesn't have the love of his/her people.

THE UN: As a graduate one of the most prestigious schools in the nation, The School of International Studies/bachelorette studies, I must begin by stating that although my efforts may be somewhat premature in this matter ... I am concerned for the security of the communities involving the status of refugees, immigrants, dissidents of wars, conflicts(holocaust survivors or those seeking refugee status due to ethnic, religious, or sexual genocide, for all of those involved be protected or divide a ' protective status' of asylum status, if you will, to guard the defense of criminalities associated with these matters.
The influx of people, children, wives, fathers, mother's etc., is becoming of an increasing and paramount issues to confront these issues. But, I think, specifically, certain incidents or atrocities that have occurred as a result of this is clearly evident and has to be stopped.
So, for the US government and it's allies to step in to declare Marshall or Absolute Law would require full participation from legislature and international laws thereof

[LoutreSaphir]

the permanent members of the security councils are both a blessing and a curse

[davemarshall]
